Griffin Grill & Pub — Restaurant in Battle Creek

I have been to this restaurant many times but not in the last year. My family threw a surprise birthday party for me here because they know I love the scotch eggs and bangers & mash. Unfortunately, it seems like the pandemic has hit another good restaurant. The bangers didn't have the apple taste they did before, the Shepards pie was served in a soup bowl, and they burned the last order of scotch eggs so I didn't get those at all. The waitresses were slamming dishes into the wash tub that was sitting right next to peoples tables and could be heard over the very loud room of people. I expect it to be loud in this smaller restaurant on a Saturday night but when dishes are being slammed and heard above the crowd I think that's a bit excessive. To top it off no one asked if we wanted a discount for them burning the last order of eggs and us not being able to get what we came there for. The food was slow to come out but it does warn you of that possibility on the menu when you bring in large crowds, we had 13 people. All I can say at this point is I expected more. Was good enough...

I've come here many times throughout the years, especially to frequent the bar, but my recent visits have been less than enjoyable - unfortunately. Turned me off from the place completely. I used to enjoy getting food here, but lately, it really seems like a lot of things are frozen or pre-made. Can't really enjoy a drink from here either when it is not consistent. I get completely different tasting drinks depending on who is working, despite ordering the same thing each time. To me, that is not correct, and just shows inability to train or hire experienced bartenders. It makes me sad that I can't come here and have a nice drink or meal anymore, as the atmosphere is also off putting. Last time I came in, I sat at the bar for over 10 mins without so much as a "hello" from a single employee around me. No one asked what I needed, if I wanted anything. Just stared at me. I ended up just leaving and going to another bar, it was just embarrassing. Service was amazing most of the time I've come here. I...

Extremely disapointed after my first visit. First off, it took forever to get our food. Seems like the servers were swampt or the way the place is ran is not efficient. I had ordered one of each taco. When the plate arrived it was sloppy and slapped together. The fish taco came and they cut the piece of fish they had in half. Cheesy with the portions on 3 of the 4 tacos. The chicken and beef had maybe two teaspoons of meat. Hardly any shredded lettus and was mostly tortilla. The piece of fish I was given was no bigger than a hush puppy and did not even cover half the tortilla. The piece of fish was actually mostly batter. If I am paying for a full taco, I expect as much. Seriously disappointed. I could have bought all the ingredients and made way better tacos at home in the same time that I waited for the food. This place needs serious help from a show like Bar Rescue or Resturant Impossible. The food honestly does not look or taste up to par with the prices they...
